What is the very first thing you do when
you have a reading assignment in a school
textbook? Do you count the number of pages
to read…then silently grumble about the
teacher who assigned all those pages? Do
you look to see how many pictures and graphs
are in the chapter, because that means fewer
words on a page?
If so, you have already made academic reading
more difficult because you are approaching
the assignment as a chore - something to
get out of the way. This is called
passive reading and it always leads to daydreaming,
re-reading, and what we call "page amnesia"
(reading an entire page then instantly forgetting
what you just read). As you already know,
passive reading is not efficient or effective.
In this program, we will show you how to
efficiently and effectively read complex
(and boring) academic material through a
variety of flexible techniques that conform
to your
preferred thinking style.
By the end of this program you will be able
to:
●
Read faster with better comprehension, retention
and recall
●
Improve your concentration while reading
(avoid daydreaming & re-reading)
●
Take concise and useful notes while reading
●
Find the type of information that will be
on tests (even if the teacher doesn't tell
you)
●
Shorten overall amount of time required
to complete a reading assignment
●
Read all types of information with critical
perspective
●
Quickly and accurately find key information
in all types of materials
To ensure you
benefit immediately, we will show you (during
the class sessions) how to apply our strategies
in your current textbooks. That’s
right, you will actually be getting homework
done during this program. Equally important,
if you apply the strategies correctly (with
our help) you will definitely improve your
reading speed and comprehension before you
finish our program.

This
is not a "give me some handouts and
I'm out of here" course. You will practice
the primary reading technique for 10
minutes of each class session. The remainder
of each session will involve hands-on
activities that will improve your reading
and thinking skills - which includes
memory improvement.
NOTE: Though it's not required, many
students have continued to practice
the techniques outside the classroom
and have achieved extraordinary results
in a short period of time.
All class sessions will take place at
your school, and can be scheduled to
coincide with your normal course times.
Class size for each session will be
limited to 10, but several sessions
will be offered throughout the day and
evening to accommodate your individual
schedule.
Typically, the 10-hour program will
run for two weeks with 50 to 60 minute
sessions meeting every day (Monday through
Friday).
Variations
of this schedule are possible based
on student interest.
We recognize
that you have a full schedule while
in school, so we have structured this
program to meet your particular needs.
For an example, visit our page called
"Frequently
Asked Questions by Students".
You should bring only your current homework
assignments since you will be applying
the reading strategies directly to these
assignments.
At the start
of the program you
will receive a TL Student Workbook which
contains:
●
All the reading strategies
●
Step-by-step guidelines for implementing
the strategies
● Templates
for note-taking
● Templates
for time management & organization
● Color-coded
dividers for easy reference

Yes, for
every 10 paid enrollments we provide
one full scholarship (1 free enrollment)
or 2 partial scholarships (2 half-price
enrollments). Typically, your school
will decide which students receive the
scholarships (based on financial need).
If you don't qualify for a scholarship,
you can still receive a free enrollment
by posting seminar flyers around your
school's campus - see
Job Opportunities.
